Description

gen_contours_skeleton_xldgen_contours_skeleton_xldGenContoursSkeletonXldGenContoursSkeletonXldGenContoursSkeletonXld converts the input skeleton (e.g., edges) SkeletonSkeletonSkeletonSkeletonskeleton, which is assumed to contain mostly one pixel wide regions (see skeletonskeletonSkeletonSkeletonSkeleton), into XLD contours.

The algorithm first attempts to transform the regions to contain only line segments in 8-neighborhood. In a second step, the junction points are labeled. After this, gen_contours_skeleton_xldgen_contours_skeleton_xldGenContoursSkeletonXldGenContoursSkeletonXldGenContoursSkeletonXld tries to generate contours which end in junction or end points, in particular for junction points of the following configurations (in all four possible rotations):

  1  0  1     1  0  1     1  0  0     1  0  0     0  1  0     0  1  0
  0  2  0     0  2  0     0  2  1     0  2  1     0  2  1     1  2  1
  0  0  1     1  0  1     0  1  0     1  0  0     0  1  0     0  1  0
where 0 = background, 1 = foreground, and 2 = junction point.

After this, all contours having at least LengthLengthLengthLengthlength points are returned. Since contours are split at junction points, possibly long contours may be split into several short segments because of short adjacent lines, even if they are longer than LengthLengthLengthLengthlength points, if ModeModeModeModemode = 'filter' was selected. This can be avoided by setting ModeModeModeModemode = 'generalize1'. In this case, the contours are generated as if the segments shorter than LengthLengthLengthLengthlength were not contained in the input region. In order to preserve line segments, which are split into very short segments by the crossing of short lines, ModeModeModeModemode = 'generalize2' can be selected. In this case, line segments are preserved if they end in two junction points, even if they are shorter than LengthLengthLengthLengthlength.
